Firm prices for the work most homes need. Firm quotes for the rest.
Every fixed price on this page includes GST and the 3 Core service standard, and is confirmed against your job before anything starts. Anything larger is quoted firm once we have seen the job, so you know the figure before the work starts. Vladimir and his trusted team manage all of it start to finish.
Hourly rates + GST. Fixed prices incl GST, confirmed against your job before anything starts.
How we price.
Fixed prices for the everyday jobs
Power points, switches, lights, smoke alarms, safety switches, EV chargers, extract fans, hot water elements. One number, GST included, confirmed against your job before we start. No call-out fee in working hours.
A firm quote for anything bigger
Rewires, switchboards, new circuits, fit-outs, heat pumps. We look at the job, or your photos, and give you a figure that holds for the work described.
By the hour only when the job cannot be sized until it is open
Fault-finding and repairs. You hear the hourly rate when you book, plus GST, and you pay for the time it takes.
If we find something different once the wall is open, we stop and show you
You get the revised figure before we carry on. The decision stays yours.

Time on site.
For fault-finding, small repairs and anything that does not fit a fixed-price line. Every hour is accounted for and explained.
Hourly and attendance rates are confirmed when you book, and quotes are free.
You get the certificate the law requires.
On all fixed wiring work, including a new power point, you receive a Certificate of Compliance. It is the record that the work was done to New Zealand’s electrical safety standards and tested. Keep it: a buyer, an insurer and any future electrician will ask to see it.
Small repairs, such as swapping a socket or a light fitting, do not get one.
Things people ask before they book.
Will I get a fixed price or a quote?
The common jobs carry a firm price, confirmed against your job before anything starts. Anything larger or less predictable, such as rewires, fit-outs or new circuits, is quoted firm after we walk the job with you.
What happens if the job turns out different once the wall is open?
A fixed price holds for the scope described in its line, and careful scoping means it holds on most jobs. If what is behind the wall turns out different, the work pauses, you are shown what was found, and you get a revised figure to approve before it carries on, so the decision stays yours.
Do the prices include GST?
Hourly rates are shown ex GST, with + GST on every line, which is how trade rates are usually quoted. Fixed prices are given GST-inclusive when you receive them. Materials, labour and GST are itemised on every invoice.
Is there a call-out fee?
No separate call-out fee in working hours. After hours, the rate is higher and we tell you the figure when you call, before anyone is dispatched.
Will I get a Certificate of Compliance?
Yes, on all fixed wiring work. It is itemised on the invoice where it applies.
What does the guarantee cover?
3 Core's workmanship. If something we installed or wired fails because of the workmanship, we come back and put it right. Manufacturer warranties on fittings and appliances sit alongside that.
3 Core Electrical is listed in the Odyssey Network of local trades. Settling the price first is part of how 3 Core holds that standard: a clear figure up front, before you commit to anything. 3 Core is aligned closely with the high-end work Odyssey Projects is committed to delivering.
